Appeal to the Youth, An / Compilation / (HB/1964-1950/B/USED)

*Condition Note: Minor to moderate red underlining present.*

Henry White, son of James and Ellen White, died of pneumonia at the tender age of 16. His death was unexpected and a great loss to his family, as evidenced by the paragraph written by Ellen White: “But oh, when our noble Henry died, at the age of sixteen; when our sweet singer was borne to the grave, and we no more heard his early song, ours was a lonely home. Both parents and the two remaining sons felt the blow most keenly. But God comforted us in our bereavements, and with faith and courage we pressed forward in the work He had given us, in bright hope of meeting our children who had been torn from us by death, in that world where sickness and death will never come.” Uriah Smith gave the funeral address for Henry in Battle Creek, which began as follows: “It is but a few months since he who now lies before you in the silence of death, left us in all the vigor of life, and the buoyancy of youth and hope. Who of us could then have thought that such would be his returning? If it had been told us that death would so soon take away one of our number, who would have looked upon him as that one? But the blow has fallen upon him – perhaps I should not say upon him; for he is not the afflicted one; it is the living hearts that feel, while he has passed beyond the sorrows and vicissitudes of earth.” Henry is buried in the White family plot in Battle Creek, Michigan.
